Will taking Chinese medicine cause loose black stools?

People's physical conditions are different in life, so even if someone has a medical problem, it is common to choose to use Chinese medicine for treatment. However, everyone's physical constitution is different, so the digestion after taking Chinese medicine is also different. For example, some people may have different stool colors, or different stool conditions. So will drinking Chinese medicine cause black stools?

First, sometimes some Chinese medicines can indeed cause abnormal bowel movements after people take them. Due to weak gastrointestinal function, suddenly taking Chinese medicines that have the effect of treating diseases will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so diarrhea will occur. Of course, if people have black stools, they need to pay attention to whether it is caused by gastrointestinal bleeding. It is better to go to the hospital for a special examination.

Second, if people want to improve the condition of black stools and loose stools after taking Chinese medicine, they can take some antidiarrheal drugs, such as montmorillonite powder. Of course, to be on the safe side, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to avoid gastrointestinal diseases caused by bacteria or viruses, such as gastroenteritis, diarrhea and other diseases. It is key to take drug treatment as soon as possible.

Third, if people have black stools and loose stools after taking Chinese medicine, in addition to relying on drug treatment, if they want to restore their health as soon as possible, dietary maintenance is also very important. The daily diet should be kept light, and eat some light and easy-to-digest foods, such as rice porridge, noodles, wonton skins and other foods, which are very good for protecting the stomach and intestines.

For people who do not take Chinese medicine regularly, there will indeed be certain gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms, but as long as their symptoms disappear quickly, then there is no need to worry too much. During the important eating period, you should supplement more nutrition to prevent your weak health from being affected by the outside world.
